mR. FORsTRR,s PLAN.

Mr.. Arnold Fosters plan for settling the
Irish land question is attracting not a little
attention. He would have the British gov
payment of sum to be fixed by parliament
and raised by an issue of consols. The
amount necessary for this operation is esti-
mated at s113, 900, 900. The tenants, having
become free holders. are TO pay ''quit-rent
equal to interest at per cent. on the value
of their holdings, and 1 per cent. of the sum
thus received is to be applied as a sinking
fund for the extinction of the principal of
the debt. If there should be general failure
to pay the quit-rent the government is to
protect itself by duties on imports of articles
not produced in Ireland, such as tea, coffee,
sugar and tobacco, and also on beer and
spirits. It is estimated that this tariff would
raise revenue of $4,000, 900 per year, which
could be applied to the repayment of the
governments advance.
Mr.. Forster thinks that the pressure of
public opinion, under the influence of relief
from the expressions of landlordism, would
cause a general payment of the quit-rent, and
that, at any rate, failure to pay would only
occur in cases of absolute inability. Tbs
government would hold against defaultine
grantees the claim of an ordinary county
court debt, and eviction would only be re-
sorted to in extreme cases after all other
remedies had been exhausted The nation
alizatien of the land would be merely inter-
mediary and temporary, as the object of the
statute would be to vest titles clear of mort
gage in occupants as rapidly as possible.
This is certainly well constructed scheme
and there doesn't seem to be any good rea-
son why it would not work well. 1t is very
probable that the Irish farmers would take
full advantage of such an opportunity, and
pay for their farms as quickly as possible.

| One of the lectures before the Baltimore
Cooking school recently gave this recipe fol-
| cooking husbands, which it is safe to say has
| never appeared in any book on cookery:
ga good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by mismanagement. Some women
go about as if their husbands were bladders
and blew them up. Others keep them con-
stantly in hot water; others let them freeze
by their carelessness and Indifference Some
keep them in stew of irritating ways and
words. Others roast them. Some keep
them in pickle all their lives It cannot be
supposed that any husband will be tender
and good managed in this way, but they are
really delicious when properly treated.
''In selecting your husbands you should
not be guided by the silvery appearance as in
buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint as
if you wanted salmon. Be sure to select
him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not 90
to market for him, as the best are ALWAYS
brought to your door. It is far better to
have none unless you will patiently learn
how to cook him. A preserving kettle of
the finest porcelain is best, but if you have
nothing but an earthenware pipkin it will
do with care. See that the linen in which
you wrap him is nicely washed and mend
ed, with the required number of buttons
and strings tightly sewed on. Tie him in
the kettle by strong silk cord called COM
fort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak
They are apt to fy out of the Kettle and be
burned and crusty on the edges, since, like
crabs and Holsters, you have to cook them
while alive. Make a clear, steady fire out of
love, neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as
seems to agree with him. If he sputters and
hzzes do not be anxious; some husbands do
this till they are quite done. Add little
su gar in the form of what confectioners call
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any ac-
count. A little spice improves them, but it
must be used with judgment Do not stick
any sharp instrument into him to see if he is
becoming tender. Stir him gently, watching
the while lest he lie too fat and close to the
kettle, and so become useless. You cannot
fail to know when he is done. If thus treat
ed you will find him very digestible, agree
ing nicely with you and the children, and he
will keep as long as you want, unless you
become careless and set him in too cold a

Factory Whistles.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
was pleased to notice in Saturdays Issue
of your paper complaint against factory
whistles. AS it is my misfortune to live
near a factory whose whistle is blowing the
greater part of the time, think my expert
ence entities me to an expression of opinion
on the subject. I have seen horses frighten-
ed and nervous people driven almost crazy
by this whistle, and 1 am grieved to say that
a considerable amount of very 1urid profani-
ty may be traced directly to it, And, after
all, what real need is there for the whistless
When "a reliable keeper" may be
had Thrown in" with a FIVE dollar suit of
clothes, surely the employees can know when
to go to work without a whistle; and in
these days of Edison and electricity it would
seem as If some quieter means might be em@
ployed for signals and Hcalls." few
months ago locomotive Hhistling was discoR-
tinued in the city because of the strong op-
position to it, and certainly factory whistles
are not less annoying. There are frequent
complaints against the ringing of church
bells, but church bells-even the Trinity
chimes-are more melodious than the aver
age shop whistle.
AS the number of factories increase the
whistling is becoming great nuisance, and
unless more can be said in its favor than I
know of it should be stopped. x

DON'T WASH your FACE.
If You DO, Your Complexion Is Sure to
Suffer.


If You Do, Your Complexion Is Sure to
Suffer.
LFrom the Chicago Tribunel
The reading world knows the aversion
Nine. Patti has to washing her face, says the
Chicago Tribune. By means of sponge
dew is collected with which she bathes her
eyes. Her ears are well washed, but her face
neve., and her neck seldom. The wisdom of
this is shown in the ease with which she
wears her years. Her face is free faom wrin-
kles, while her hands, which she is obliged
to wash with more or less frequency, are
withered and old by comparison. The
diva is supplied with cold cream and linen
napkins, with which she keeps her face not
only clean but young and beautiful. Try it,
and see if your complexion is not smoother
and better looking in six weeks than it is
now.
Soap should not be used on the face, as
there are chemicals which shine and dry the
skin. One scrubbing month is suficiency,
unless one has been travelling through coal
mine. The best way to make up the face is
to rub it with a soft linen or chamois cloth
till all the dirt comes off. The friction should
be sufficient to quicken perspirstion, thus
opening the pores of the skin, without irri-
| tating it. When the cloth rubs clean dip it
| in cold cream, and after working it in the
face, rub it dry. There are creams and
creams, but if the pure dairy product cannot
| be procured, here is a substitute that can be
/ warranted 1t will cost in the neighborhood
of 50, but half the quantity prescribed will
| suffice for six months Almond oil, 90
grains; spermaceti, 60 grains; white wax,
80 grains; tincture benzoine, 15 grains; oil
of rose, drops Melt wax, spermaceti and
almond oil in hot water bath. Remove
| from the fire and stir until snowy; then and
the ether ingredients, and beat until cold and
white. Bottle in psst vial or jelly cup with
glass cover, and use whenever the face needs
cleaning. Don't tell your husband or he will
fancy you are greasy and make your life mis-
erable.

May do for Il stupid boys excuse; but
what can be said for the parent who
sees his child languishing daily and fails
to recognize the want of tonic and
blood-purifier? Formerly, course of
bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule in well-regulated families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers
Sarsapariila, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton ST.,

years old, was in perfect health until
wear ago when she began to complain of
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
Indigestion and loss Of appetite. l con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her to take
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood-making organs to
healthy action, and in due time reeStab-
lished her former health. I find Ayers
Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for
the Iassitude and debility incident to
